英語六級寫作經(jīng)典范文及點(diǎn)評：為快樂而讀書

　　不同的人有不同的讀書目的。作者通過這篇文章給讀者傳遞了這樣一個(gè)信息：讀書不應(yīng)該僅僅是為了通過考試、獲取信息，而是應(yīng)該讓自己感到心情愉悅，活得更充實(shí)。

　　Reading for Pleasure

　　The first thing I want to insist on is that reading should be enjoyable. Of course, there are many books that we all have to read, either to pass examinations or to acquire information, from which it is impossible to extract enjoyment. We are reading them for instruction, and the best we can hope is that our need for it will enable us to get through them without tedium. Such books we read with resignation rather than with alacrity. But that is not the sort of reading I have in mind. The books I shall mention in due course will help you neither to get a degree nor to earn your living, they will not teach you to sail a boat or get a stalled motor to run, but they will help you to live more fully. That, however, they cannot do unless you enjoy reading them.

　　Every man is his own best critic. Whatever the learned say about a book, however unanimous they are in their praise of it, unless it interests you, it is no business of yours①. And you who read are the final judge of the value to you of the book you are reading. We are none of us exactly like everyone else, only rather like, and it would be unreasonable to suppose that the books that have meant a great deal to me should be precisely those that will mean a great deal to you. But there are books that I feel the richer for having read, and I think I should not be quite the man I am if I had not read them. No one is under an obligation to read poetry or fiction or the miscellaneous literature which is classed as belles-lettres②. He must read them for pleasure，and who can claim that what pleases one man must necessarily please another?

　　行文點(diǎn)評

　　文章開篇點(diǎn)題，用The first thing 首先表明了reading should be enjoyable這一觀點(diǎn)。接下來作者從讀書的目的說明只有enjoy reading才能夠有助你live more fully。第一段最后一句That, however, they cannot do unless you enjoy reading them.對全段做出歸納總結(jié)，與段首主題句相互呼應(yīng)，使本段結(jié)構(gòu)嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)。

　　第二段首句Every man is his own best critic.就是本段的主題句，全段圍繞這個(gè)主題展開議論。結(jié)尾處使用了一個(gè)反問句，這樣不僅深化了主題，而且能引起讀者的共鳴。

　　好文妙譯

　　為快樂而讀書

　　我想強(qiáng)調(diào)的第一點(diǎn)是，閱讀應(yīng)當(dāng)是令人愉悅的。當(dāng)然，我們每一個(gè)人都會(huì)為了通過考試，或是為了獲取信息而閱讀大量的書籍，這樣的閱讀是無法讓我們獲得快樂的。我們讀這些書是為了獲得指導(dǎo)，我們能期望的最多就是我們在讀完之后不至于感到單調(diào)乏味。這樣的書，我們讀得無可奈何而不是輕松愉快。不過，這類閱讀并不是我想要談的。我在下面將要提到的那一類書既不能幫助你獲取學(xué)位，也不能幫助你掙錢謀生，更不能教會(huì)你駕駛船只或修好出了故障的馬達(dá)，然而，它們能夠幫助你活得更加充實(shí)。而這一點(diǎn)，除非你喜歡讀它們，否則是無法做到的。

　　最好的評論家是每個(gè)人自己。無論某個(gè)學(xué)者對某一本書作了什么評價(jià)，無論他們?nèi)绾伪娍谝辉~地對它大加稱贊，倘若它激不起你的興趣，那么這本書就與你毫不相干。作為讀者，你是你所讀書籍價(jià)值的仲裁人。我們當(dāng)中，沒有一個(gè)人跟另外一個(gè)人的評價(jià)完全相像，至多有點(diǎn)相像而已。想當(dāng)然地認(rèn)為對我來說很有價(jià)值的書恰恰對你也很有價(jià)值，這是不合情理的。但是也確實(shí)有這樣的書，在讀完之后，我感到更加充實(shí)了，我覺得要是沒有讀過它們，我就不會(huì)成為現(xiàn)在的我。沒有什么人非要去讀詩歌、小說以及其他歸為“純文學(xué)”的作品不可。讀者讀這些作品必然是為了獲取快樂；然而誰又能說，使一位讀者感到愉悅的書一定會(huì)讓另一位讀者喜歡呢?
